THE LONDON JOURNALS. bAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, • JUNE 16, 1826. [rue TIMES.) . . The elections ro on with mermen spirit---that is, with a considerable increase of party animosity ; but for the kind of spirit whiCh is manifested, we think it in many inatancers most disgraceful. When plane are proposed fur a reform of Parliam6lt itself, it has often struck us that the moat effectual reform would be a purification of the electors, than many of whom a class of persona more unqualified by depravity or fully to choose legislators for the country et large are not to be found in tbeworld. Within a fortnight we have teen letters published, in which overtures from electors were indignantly alluded to, eoupled with intitna. nous to the gentleman whom they honoured by their choice, that he in return was expected to honour them with hl. per man as a bonus on their diet riminatiog patriotism, What can he expected from such a constituent boly? What ingenuity or integrity of le; isletion can provide against the *bete, by such base reptiles, of franchises which are to them not a trust, but an article of traf fie ? Let the law be what it will, knavery ,roust still find means of defeating its . precentions, unlace the power of voting shall become so extensive, that gregarioua folly, instead of indivi dual profligacy, veill succeed as the nmst effective instrument; and this, albeit a serious evil, seems likely to he the pant resource of the ronstittniun, since folly may perchence be instructed, or prejudice 're removed, but hardened ivickednees can seldom or never be re /misted. A menet the cases which reflect most severely upon'elece tie.? bodies hi En : at this mument, we cannot avoid touring for audacious melvireition, the outs of 1,000/. from the funds of a corporate town, towards facilitating the return of a certain member to Parliament. The testier of whom this story has been circulated, are the Corporation of ,Nottheropton, and Sir Bo liert Gentling. 4is voAtively said, that the honest Corpora tion have voted the sum in quotion to promote• the lute rots of the worthy Baronet on this occasion; and if the tale be true, we would ask the chartered trustees of a pub lic estate, fur what end the ohne was uriginelly granted ? Was it to pay .the expenses of election contests? If net, the Mayor and Aldermen have bettayed their trust. If not, they may be dregged,—and we devoutly hope they will, in the most ignominiout manner, be dragged— before a court of law, or Parliament, to account for their misdeeds. But there rue other constituent bodies which ought to blush for their want of sense or feeling. Is it possible, for in stance, that such men as those who exercise the right of voting for the University of Cambridge, can have any scrions fear for Church and State, by choosing a representative like Lord Pal mendenweina who has served them lung—who has served them vvell.....wha, is not charged with any violence, or inconsistency, or duplieity? keens known twelve years lien how , this Noble Lord would vote upon Catholic emancipation, vet hes be been chosen imply ev e r since. What new offence, then, has the Secretary at I Par committed, that hundreds of voters should fly off to =Metre, whit are neither of them eoniparable to Lord Palmerston, for talent or for political efficiency, or for tried eervicte. lu the city of Lone don, toe.---bow 7. Livery behaving to tuf old amid faithful retiree tentative? If ever u. aSember of Parliament weld be considered as the true and undeviating otgen of those who placed him in that oafishly, Alderman Wood is the rum Nu reptesentative of the people of England ever acted a more manly, consistent, or uncompromising part, then this worthy nominee of the Livery of London. N 6 rend, vigilance, or activity, or spirit, in his attendance at the Home of Commons, or in his conduct as a member of -ite ever exceeded those of the worthy and independent ', llll crinn% lie neither m o made a sinecure of hie at through in -6010,:ce, nor an engine of selfishness or coeruptiom He never iltiasted to his constituents of a principle which be (lid not main tain by his vote. He never courted Liveryman before an elec. non, to insult or neglect him afterwards. He has broken no 'faith with men or parties, and le deeerves that the faith which is always implied in sending A representative to Parliament should be kept inviolate by a continuance of public support, when it is not even inainuated that he has failed in the duties to which he pledged himself. We differ in some matters of opinion from AldnU4l4 Wood, but we have an Englishman's love of justice. Slipperinebs in the long run Lad= thrivea. Old Cob bett after torturing his ingenu ty, and spending hie lirenth, and plun 4sting the gulls who had listened to him out of their siapeuny sub. INT/Ptions, and hutnbugginge similar gentleman or two nut et their atlmiratims, find* that humbug win do its work no longer. A day or two's poll at: Preston has convinced Old Punch; that although people may be teased out of their attention for a little, it is not so easy, when they have time to look about them, to cheat a body of English electors out of their votei, in favour of a paltry vagabond, who would sell his own soul for eighteen pence, end chtiohle, moreover, at the thriftiness of the bar gain. The exposure and abindonment of this fellow at Pres ton have been hastened much by a handbill or paper, entit led the ".Politieal Mottattebank," ,and circulated widely among the inhabitants both before the election, and durin g its doily progres s . A s a f res h "Mountebank" hes come forth emery morning, the curiosity of the public has never want ed gratification, nor hes the interest of the subject ever been . permitted to slacken. The heathy of the thing is, that it melees Cobbett his own tepounder—his own murderer, we might say,-.-fin never was tho throat of any criminal under seutence so completely severed by leis min hands, as in this case are Cobbtat's pretensious, not merely as a candidate, but as a member of civilized society, extinguished by hie own words and writings. No. 1, shows up the swindling and bullying practised upoa his creditors in 1617 and 1818; No. V, his coarse and malignant ghee of Popery, which he has since been courting; No. 3, hit bold beggary for subscriptions to bring him, on a former occa lion, into Parliament; No. 4, his recommendation to perpetrate wholesale finerie on the frink of England ; No. l end 6, his treasonable language—his atrocious lies—and alternate " blarney and bleckguardiem" to individuals whenever it suited the purpose of the moment. lf Cobbett liad stood such a series of attaeki as these, be must have been an invulnerable monster, or the people er Preatou tit inmates for a madhouse: but it/Wenn to be all over with him. [TILE MORNING HERALD.] The tendering of the Bribery Oath to the Electors at Cambridge seems to have raised a terrible ferment atuoug that learned and immaculate body. if it was meant, as is said to he the case, to meet the bringing up of constituents, and to embrace the titmice of their carriage under the head of bribery, we have no hesitation in considering it a mean and contemptible quibble, utterly diegitcefttl to all or any of the pucks with whom it may have originated ; for, as it is well 'tauten that there is nothing unlawfulin so doing, and that the recent attempt to do away with it in the University was not art any plea of illegality, every effort of a defeated party to vent their resentment in this manner, is totally unworthy of echelar, or of gentlemen, arid the matter might wifely have been left to the judgment of the world, with out giting rise to quit so much ireeeibility as it is *aid to have product 4 But it is equally lawful to require this oath to be ad ministered; and it might have been expected, therefore, that thrum who have t been might, and who undertake to teach others to te.: tee law, would Lave been the first to set an example of nbedience to It in their nun persons. What Ws a 'man whoes "withers are %moo-tine to fear from taking en oath *Ping htittert? But the very fit ,t perton to whom it was tendered; is said, after liking it, to have thrown d own the book in disdain, at the indigoity thus offered to hi s c haracter. To throw down the Word et Gel with disdain, and fiat too xvith its sacred obligation jest imprinted on the lips, is not exactly that kind of example which that youthful spectators in the Senate Nome were likely to profit from. Put taking th e question abstrsctedly, what is there in the COO of the University of Cambridge which exit-opts vain from the law which attaches to them every where else? Are they so pure, forsooth;--hai their m e of the elective franchise been at all timer so unimpeachable, that the very mention of bribery should affright the Muses f rom the ehades of .Aeltiltl3lllS ? Al&S! alas! experience too loudly tells ea Orel the prateertioq of wisdom end philoaophy is no exemption from the eorruptioneof nature and of society ; sod though it may !gar wise may not he h e tree that bribery, iti l m r ° l l4 mo t r u al and more ex ► tensiv much known among (the b r ib e ry of ti elp ru erta - ;on i t it roXists no where in a more fense . t more disgust i ng :tate. Of this we show. rife, a T ore ,„" ) :,:;' s o t ni: A few days *ince, iu the state of, the polls t"1 ( x i ' Altd therefore, before the elector, of the forlast : i3ribery Oath with so much disdain, let present day , t the; hate the crime as much ; them bow, by . their etineuce , as they do the peuklty. • t h e c our t, of t.ointnon Pleas, have, The Ju‘-g'' 4 L. arimit qpremed their Aehie eere rete ant y with moat commen— e-isted of l the o f t h e practice whieh.h tartooaru,inagetit:w„ith it crass of un. eases which carafe before t,t; eni _ o g w, demurrer*, rejoinders , and meaning verbiage in the shaije oro f :such lilts nonsense ; grant part of it wholly foreign to the points at issue, and only foiste d upon t he Court by gteedy attornies, as Mr. Justice park says, t' to saddle costs upon the backs of their clients." But, to continue the metaphor, we-cannot help thinking, that in this, as well as in all matters of blame, the saddle should be put upon the back of the right horse, and that though the Court seems on this ossasion to have vented all its anger upon the attornier, there are in the profession of the law some such people as special pleaders and barristers, who, if we mistake not, have quite as much to do with the matter as the 'atomics. Mont of these precious jumbles of legal fiction and chicanery (for such we are entitled to call them, now that the Judges of the land have stamped them with so marked a reprobation) pass through the bands of, and are actually signed by Counsel before they assume a formal and 'a tan gible shape. Surely, then, jt is but fair and fitting that the in ventors and inanutheturert of the article should share with the venders' in any disgrace which attaches to the commodity. We trust that the opinion thy expressed by the Judges will have its weight with all parties, and that something like common .sense will find its way into these matters, in lieu of a system of plead ing, which we are not• entitled to consider little better than a sy stem of plunder.—/bid, . . [THE BRITI.S.IL PILES S.] The state of intense excitement in which the public mind heti beenkept for some time by the elections renders it almost iMpoesible in a newspaper to find any other topic of the slightest interest at such a period. A general election is always a serious affair, and can never take place without rousing the most powerful feelings. At the present moment there are many reasons which would have rendered. these feelings still more powerful, if measures had not been wisely taken to prevent the ebullitions of popular excitement. These measures have been very judiciously directed, and the consequence has been that the Tory party has in some cases voluntarily receded from the contest, while the Whigs, in like manner, have been induced to ithandon their attempts at opposition in quarters where the influence of the oKtra:te interest is more riodo►ninant, There can be no doubt concerning the source front which tl is influence over both parties has proceeded, and the sudden retreat; which several candidates have made from contests in which they had flattering prospects of suceeas, must he considered as so many proofs that our Administration is as skilful in averting, by negociation, the calamities incident to domestic dissension, as it has long ago showed itself to be in preventing exte►nal warfare.. We cannot at the same time help expressing our hope, that the leading men of the opposite interest will imitate the forbearance of Ministers, and will avoid provoking cantata in the counties, as they have hitherto done in the burghs. Theelections which have been contested have been disputed less from any diversity of opi nion on public questions, than fron► the rivalry of individuals, who' make use of a few watchwords to give a colour' to their preten sions ; and we cannot in any case identifythe disputed elections at present, with the contests between rival parties which used to agi tate the public mind on such occasions. All our accounts from Northumberland and Westmorland, however, lead ps to believe that the struggle in these counties will be of a different nature from that which we have recently witnessed in Yorkahire ; hut what ever may be the event of these elections, of one thing we are cer tain, :that any circumstance which 'can rouse' the public feeling in these districts, must, at the want. moment, be pregnant with the most disastrous conSequencei to social order. The best proof of this is afforded by the conduct of the populace in many of the towns where contested elections hare taken Place ; and those who provoke such contests for no assignable' reason (and there can be no reason at present), but the desire of private aggrandizement—such per sons, we maintain, are answerable to the country for snch conduct, and will be deservedly obnoxious to puhlie censure. Let any man, we would add, who looks impartially at the state of England at this moment, say, whether it is for the good of this country to have annual elections. • PRESTON ELECTION. TUESDAY, JUNG 13. I lend you a few extracts from the speeches of the candidate!, as specimens of their style of speaking, and proofs of the feelings they entertain towards each other. On Monday evening, after returning from the hustings, Mr. Wood said—Oentlemen, I am happy to tell you that I ant seoond on the poll, and (to use a nautical expression) that Mr. Cobbett is water-logged. Though we have had a fine day without the market-place, we bars bad a stormy one within. Mr. Cobbett could not succeed by tellies,. so , he thought to gain his object by making a rush with his voters to the liustingA ; but that would not do either, .Geotleinan ; so he roust retire front the contest. 1 doubt if you see lilies rigs the hustings ever sg ; iin. Captain Barrie is a generous, enemy o f ours, hot VII give hint e broadside for all that. He hes employ ed no tricks. against me, and I'll not use any tricks against him. —(Bravo, Wood 1)--But he it a Tory, Gentlemen ; and though be professes that he is pledged to no party in politics, has he not proved his opinions in one act ? Does he not want to exclude the Roman CathjECS from the privilege of voting ?,--(Applause. )—You know the gallant Captain : he has been in the habit of swimming the ocean ; I wish to heaven he were switntniug it now ! Rut he wants to swim the town of :Preston, Gentlemen, with his ele,--but though you may testa it, Gentlemen, let not that prevent you from voting for me.--(llurrah.).--When I came here first, Owlet - 14m it was said I heel no religion ; Captain Barrie was a Church and King man, and had monopolized all the religion to himself and his friends; yet, whet do you think of this Church and King party, in the overflow of their Protestant piety, having spent all yesterday, Sunday, in can\ geeing? and that while I was at cht.reh !--(Shetne).—But I supotra they thought it en art of re ligion to throw me out, and consoled themselves with the notion that " the better the they the better the deed."—(Laughter,,- Gentionen, notwithstanding the crowded canvass met,: by the Gallant Captain yesterday, he hes slackened sail anoutingly to day ; and now that my number on the poll has " parted com pany" with his, 1 hope, with your assistance, to outsail him coin pletely, and soon to have hint out of sight altogether.—(Hutradt; hurrah !) Mr. STANLEY, from the opposite window.—Gentlemen, I em still at the head of the poll to-day, and Sir T. Beevor is still at the bottom.'—(Laughter).—We shall shortly hear nothing from him. And Mr. Cubbett, toes.--I doubt whether he will appear again on the hustings. I have been said to coalesce. A comical coalition indeed ! Captain Barrie splits with me, and I split with Mr. Wood!—(Laughter.)—When Mr. Cobbett retires, which is, I au pp obe , is the ease already, the election will be conducted with fair play, and in an honourable, handsome manner, but not till then; and as for the three remaining candidates, I ant sure we shall shake 'ramie tovther, the winniug man, and the beaten man, in cordial good humour. For myself, Gentlemen, all I want is, a fair usage, and no favour, except yours, Gentlemen ; while you stand true to your colours (and I never knew you to flinch from them) I am confident of victory.—(Shouts). Mr. Comm harangued hit mob, at eight the same evening (Monday) ; the following are some of his sentences :—Gentle» niece, we have had warm work of it to-doy bn the hustings ; there were the other three parties barking and biting like bull-dogs at ine, hut I did not let one of them off without giving them some pinches, which they will not forget fur days to Come. Mr. Stanley attacked me—why did he attack ? Ile was guilty of gross it manners "he would not sit in the same room with me, forsooth!" but what was ruy answer ? We are not talking about rooms, Sir; hut the people did nut spit at me as they did,..ou you.—(Shouts.) Ile warmed by Capt. Barrie, a person, Gentlemen, who takes care of a naval yard in Canada—a person whp is unfit for being s Member of Parliameot by living out of the kingdom, and who incompetent to its duties, even though he were resident. Ih is cant so fit as any one of the ten thousand of ye. I have a majo rity of votes; but the Mayor and his associates won't let me pull them. T told him I'd take him before the King's Bend,. or Par:. linnwnt ; not that I wish to insult him, but I ant bound to defend your rights and my own.—(Hurrah !)—They have ao often de prived you of your right., that they think they can do it with ini punity, but they obeli not, I promise s you. ',promise you fair elec... tion,,if you stand firm to me. If you prove honest and stomas, you'll see use seated in Parliament next spring (desfening shouts), or we'll have another election six weeks after the meeting of Per liement. Mr. Stanley and Wood have told you, I'll not again appear on the hustings, but falsehoods are cheap with these gen tietnen. I shell he there when they'll he ashamed to show their face,. (Hurrah ! the they will.) i am so boars. from bad. pering "era all day, that I can't say much more. If you eleet Captain Barrie your Rrpreeentative, he'll get some snug office for putting me out; for Which office on will undoubtedly have to poky additionel tater. -If'yon olect Mr. Wood, he will get some fat plate in the Law Courts for keeping me out; and if you elect mr• Stanley, he too will get something more out of the taxes, if possible for his family to receive more than they do at present. Did you see- hiM to-day, 'Geotlemen?-- 2 -the airs he put on, the fastidious toes of the head, and the pouting out of his lips, like l o v n ea e l o •e t ri tl n t le i r tl) e er in ( fi ll w p m *r eV allYdemt oire":"l6Y"toliunsidtreiln Parliament, then'this young twig of aristocracy. ( 1 ' To he 4ure you do. Hurrah !") Yet no men ever hung down his head more sheepiably when I returned his attack, I'll defend your eights, Gentlemen. he Stead, and we must etieceed. I wi ll ' you all a good night. (Good night, com m it ; /m i t e leek to you, my boy. Ilurrah.) Wintresuay Moantoo, Six o 'c: l .°cl" Yesterday went off' very quietly, in tontiequenee of the pressure of the military. Capt. Barrie's friends pawed t h e town for the irst time, 'tl it military band and some ha aorat naval flaps + n The polling became quicker. At four o'clock Cobbett appeared on the hustings, and standing forward, said : " Gentleman, it has been reported that I will appear no more on the hustings--that I had abandoned the fight. Now, Gentle men, the election will last to the i.inth of June. On the 27th of June, and not a day sooner, will I leave Preston. I'll stand out to the last moment, and to the last man."---(Applause). . At the close of the poll, five o'clock (Tuesday evening), the numbers were— _ _ -Mr. Stanlvy Mr. Wood - 213 I ?Jr. Cobbett - - 110 Sir T. Beevor - - 97 - 20 Captain B arr i e - 121 I Captain Colquet - 2 Sir 'F. BEivoa did not appear on the hustings dining the day ; he is said to be at last disgusted with 11r. Cobbett's dishonourable tricks. Captain RA itn.)E left the Imatings, surrounded by a strong body Qf constables, and a - few dis►nounted dragoons. The appearance of the soldiers has quite awed the mob. They were aft aid to show even a sign of disapprobation against the Captain. - ' STANLEY addressed the crowd from his hotel. Mr. Cob. beteg tricks are at last exhaustid, stod we have now fair straight forward polling. Mr. Cobbett intimated this morning his inten tion of going to London, and took a most pathetic leave of the Mayor.—(Laughter.)—But be now says stay—'tis no great matter now whether be goes or stay!, as it is probable ,he will continue to 'nay where he is this moment—and where is that, gentlemen?-at the very bottom of the poll.—(Cheering and laughter). Mr. Woori.—l am happy to tell you am running away, Gen tlemen—not (like Mr: Celibett) from Preston, but from the Gal lant Captain. I have left him quite behind 011 the poll—l am making too much sail for him. ' He bee heavy metal and good grog aboard—but I am sure my voters will keep out of the range of his metal—it must be soon exhausted—he must then strike his colours to us: I thaile you for your support.—(Applause). Cowen also had hie periodical oration, et eight o'clock.— " My weenies . have combined against toe; their whole scheme is to keep the electors from polling, in order to prevent your having me in Parliament ; htit am I a man to buck oil; in this sort of way? No ; 171 not suffer you to be robbed of'your rights, my friends, nor me of mine. All the electors shall be polled, or the Mayor and I will meet in London. Hell find me as hospitable there, as he has been here. take care to provide him with lodgings that will cost him nothing. (From the crowd, " New gate to him."). A commodious dwelling, Gentlemen—a place where he may sleep in safety, and in which there's no danger of thieves breaking. lem not to be turned aside from my purpose; why not let my voters vote is they come to the lngings? because Wood and Barrie have no more than WO voters each, while I have 2,000, if I were only permitted to poll them. Yet all England believes I am at the foot of the poll.—but remain you firm, and before the end of the week you'll see: me at the head of the poll.—(Shouts.)—Mr. Stanley says, it was on my account he has split his votes with the others. But geatlemeu, 1 was not the cause—he brought it on himself by talking of the Radicals. —lie and his family are anxious to keep me out of Parliament ; so finding be cannot keep me out with splitting with the Tory Captain, he splits with Wood. They try every art to gain *their end--they praise each other, and join in attacking me; but you know bow to treat them—if you dO your duty, Wood may bid good bye to Preston on Friday night next. Mr. Wood says lie is a Radical ; Mr. Stanley would sooner give you back your pro. mind votes than you should consider bim a Radical ; yet both these unite—they come together like the two Kings of Brantford, smelling at one rose. They tell you I ton going away; lam aux. ions to go, but in good time. I have a wife and family, and a handsome new house at Kensington ; and is it not natural enough that I should like to return to toy home'? But, Gentlemen, if I am Aim I'll not leave you and your good town of Preston before the 26th of June. Good night.—The multitude quietly separated. You remember that the Mayor denied yesterday that be bid sent for the military. The facts of this are—certain of the mas • ter manufacturers stated before the county Magistrates, in the usual forms, their apprehensions that the working chino of the surrounding districts would assemble in the town, and attack the power-looms in the absence of the military. On this ground the Magistrates sent in the military for. the protection of the factories. The state of the poll and the speeches will show you that Cob bett is sinking comparatively lower in the poll every day. This floes not proceed from shy want of voters, but from the circtun statre that none of the other three candidates give him a second vote ; aft that his amply support is his own plumpers.' Depending, however, on basing the vo . mit , / of the slensofl, aspects that If the whole number be polled, ' hell yet rise to the head of the poll. If he shoutt fail in that, his ultimate resource is to petition the House of C,Annions against the return of the successful Mem bers. He has already prepared his way for that, by presenting five protests against the manner in which the polling has been conducted. He is cow preparing .a sixth. At twelve o'clock to-day (Wednesday) the poll stood thus Mr. Stanley - 288 I Captain Barrie 153 Mr. Wood 167 Mr. Cobbett - - 117 Cobbett, it appears, has his Post Laureate, as well as his oppo nents. Neither of them appears to have drank of Heliaolli The title of the following is formidable ; THE VOICE OF FREEDOM ; 011, COIII3ETT THE DREAD OF THE ROOKS. Hark ! the loud yoke of Freedom, from Preston exclaiming, Unshackled, unbought, uncorrupted, and free, We blush, while we think on those parts not worth naming, Where Britons are bought with the State paupers' fee : Through our country we wish Preston Charter extended, See! the emblenis of Frsedom and Purity blended, Green and white are displayed; and by Cobbett defended— The dread of those Rooks who earnings devour. H ar k ! t h e bold vo i ce o f FreedoM calls louder than thunder, " My mandate, ye sons of Britannia, obey ! Throw the yoke off your necks, rend your lettere asunder, Emerge from your thraldom, he free while you may ! For a help to make lighter those burdens which grieve you, In Cohbett confide, he will never deceive you, HIS arm is extended, with power. to relieve you— The dread of those Rooks who your earnings devour."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. —EuacrioNiit 4 G Pt.a. ea ans.—Yes terday Mr. Fenton, the solicitor, of Austinfriers, appeared before Mr. Alderman MAGNAY, (who sat for the Lord Mayor) to prose cute a bill-sticker who had offended against the provisions of the Act of the let. Geo. 111. rap. 63. which subjects every bill sticker, who, sticks .up bills without the printer's name, to a penalty of '2O/. for each offence. The defendant was not forth coming when he was called for, and on enquiry, it appeared, that he had-been liberated by the Beadle, iu-whose custody he had been given on the preceding night. The Beadle had taken his word to appear when called upun.—A summons was about to he made out against the Beadle, when he appeared with his prisoner.— The prlsoner's name was Jeremiah Brown; he stated, that be is a bill-sticker, and resides at No. 129, Union -street, Southwark. —Mr. Hathaway, one of the Lord Mayor's Committee, stated, that hetWeen eight and nine o'clock on the preceding night, he saw the prisoner near the Southwark Bridge, pasting up a placard, a copy of which he produced. It was as follows,:— " Roman Catholics : Rally round your staunch Friend', Wood, Waithman, and the Lord Mayor." There was no printer's name attached to it. Witness took him into custody. Mr. Fenton said, that tke prisoner bad a number of other hills. He wished to know what had .become of them.—The officer" stated, that they had only taken two from the prisoner, which two tkv now had to produce. Mr. Fenton asked of the prisoner how he had disposed of the remainder of the bills?---The prisoner readily answered, that he had stuck them all up this morning. There were SOO of them. Mr. Hobler—Whet ! did you do this immediately after you were liberated?--Prisoner..-.Yes ; I stuck them all up this morning. • Mr. - Fenton—Who gave you these hills ?—Prisoner—Mr. Triquet, the Printer of St. Clement's-lane. Mr. Fenton—lt is impossible you could have got these from Mr. Ward's Committee. They cannot have acted so ungeutle manly.—Prisoner—Yes ; but I did though. When I was libe rated last night, I went to the Committee at the City of London Tavern, where Mr. Triquet was. He told me be would see me righted, and he ordered me to post the bills which were left, which I did this morning. Mr. Fenton---le Mr. Triquet one of the Committee?—Pri soner : I believe so. There were three othey Gentlemen there. Mr. Fenton—Did the other Gentlemen present hear the printer Pay he would see you righted ?..—The prisoner replied that he could not stele positively. Mr. Pinion—bid you ever stick up any other hills from the same quarter, as coming from the Lord Mayor ?—Prisoner: have. Mr. HOBLER more than once interposed, and suggested, that it Was unfair to interrogate the prisoner, who was an ignorant man, and make him convict himself, if it were intended to proceed for the penalty. Mr. Fenton said, that since the prisoner had shown himself ready to give an account of the transaction, and acknowledge who bad employed him, he (Mr. F.) was inclined to abstain from far ther proceedings against bite, and seek redress as against his em ployers. Private squibs, of course, were fair ; but placards like the one produced, when they came from Committees, formed a species of warfare that was perfectly unworthy and unjustifiable, and must be resisted. The prisoner, on engaging to appear when called upon, was then dismissed. Mr. Tricquet, who, it was stated, gave directions to the bill sticker, is the son of a Cashier at the Bank, and is Secretary to Mr. Ward's Commatti , e. The bill-sticker was sought in the course of the afternoon, in order that he might be confronted with Mr. Tricquet, when it was discovered that he had given a fictitious address. In the mule of the afternoon a wan appeared in Cheapeide, bearing the following placard:— " ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL, Jura 14, 1826. " At a Meeting of the Roman• Catholics, held here this day, it was resolved unanimously, that Alderman Wood's staunch ad-. herence to our cause, and his alone, claims our most strenuous support. _ _ _ 4 i Brother Liverymen, let not the Protestants Triumph !!" The hearer was soon surrounded by a crnwd, who declared the placard to be false; and, after some uproar, seized it and tore it to pieces. The man was allowed to go about his business. Efforts were afterwards made to find him, but without success. GUILDITALL.—A fashionably dressed dame, neither hand *ulna nor young, infesented herself to he sworn to an affidavit de claring that certain reports, which impugned her chastity, wets grotindless. Mr. Alderman Asst zy wished to know whether this document was meant for publication. The Lady replied it was not ; but if his Worship would be so kind as to permit her to take the oath, in the presence of a Gentleman who accompanied her, it would allay the irritation of her husband's mind. The Alderman immediately allowed her to be sworn, and dismissed her, eipressing his hope that this unusual proceeding would have the desired effect. Edward Gr&iths, Wm. Dore, and John Callaghan, were charged with tearing the watch, chain, and seals, from the per son of NV. Patrick, a Chelsea Pensioner, in Smithfield, yesterday morning. Griffiths made the attack, the other two were observed in his company just before the robbery, and likewise in the crowd when the watchman came up. Callaghan furiously resisted being taken, beating the watchman severely with a bludgeon, and felling a Gentleman who attempted to intercept him. They were fully committed. BOW-STREET.—EXTRAORDINARY CHARO OF HORtil. STRR LING.—Mr. Richard Cripps, a man of respectable appear ance, about ISO year of age, a master baker, residing in Old street-road, was charged with stealing a mare, the property of Mr. John Rumen, a builder, at Finchley, on the 26th of June, 1824. The prisoner is a man possessing considerable property, and the case excited an unusual degree of interest. Mr, Russell stated, that on the.26th of June, 1824, the mare in question was stolen out of his field at Finchley. On the 4th of August following, he received information from a person named Scholefield, that his mars bad been seen in the possession of a person in Old-street-road. He came to London, and en deavoured to find him out, but failed. On Thursday last he re ceived information from time same Scholefield, that he had again seen the snare in a cart, on which was painted, " Richard Capp', Nursery and Seedsman, Tulse" Hill, Norwood, Surrey." On the following day he went with a horse-denier to Smithfield, who bad prieiously informed him that he had seen the mare in the market for sale, and on his arrival there lie saw the , mare, and inquired who owned her, when the prisoner came f...Tward, and claimed the mare as his property: He had since learned that Mr. Richard Crippa, at NOrWOOd, was the sou of the pri soner. Henry Hampton stated that he lives at Y.:lapton ; be remembers the mare being stolen, as he lived, at the time, near the prosecu -INottr'stlehllX,e a O n xf l o l r 'e dstre o , f rtin ug i i n a g l, 11121 haa one-horse se a : driven'by the prisoner, to which it was tied by a halter. Retold the prisoner that he knew the mare, and it had been stolen a few days before from Mr. Russell of Finchley. The prisoner said, he had bought it at a fair in Oxfordshire, and drove away. J. ficholeflehl, said, that he saw the prisoner on the 4th of Au gust, 1824, with the mare in hie possession, in it cart in Old-street road; he stopped him, sad told him that it was a stolen mare, and belonged to NIT. Russell, of Fincbley ; he did not get - the prisoner's address at that time; but he wrote to Mr. Russell, and Informed him that be bad seen the mare in Old-street.

Chatman was using such violence towards him, that he was obliged to call out loudly for assistance, when his cries brought Mr. Spencer, the landlord of the Harp public house tot hisaid—the'gartlener said that " Chatman was the most brntishese Man he ever seed in all his life." George Spencer corroborated the last witness's evidence, sad'' said that when be asked what was the matter, Chatman struck him and " clawed" one of his eyea nearly out; not content witiv this, he laid hold of hit right hand and nearly bit the first joist of the middle finger off, but was prevented completing his task by some persons who had come up.

A patent hes been recently granted to Mr. Daniel Stafford, of Liverpool, for his invention of a new Suspension Safety Cool* which is so constructor' as to maintain its equilibrium under ex , traordinary inequalities of rued.
